How do you apologise when you're not sorry? Where can you make a
fortune out of pretending to know the future? What's the best way
to steal credit and avoid blame? These are the vital life skills
that people need if they're going to make their way in the world.
And they all involve one ingredient: flannel, the art of not saying
what you mean. It's not exactly lying, but it's definitely not
telling the truth. In Romps, Tots and Boffins, Robert Hutton
brilliantly 'laid bare' the true meanings of the words we read in
the papers. Following popular demand, he now turns his razor-sharp
eye to the best, worst and most outlandish examples of waffle,
fudging, obscurity, blame-shifting and point-scoring. In areas from
politics to sports, academia, religion and self-help, it seems that
glory, money and power flow far more freely to those who sidestep
bald, ugly realities. You can steer a truck through the gap between
a lie and the simple truth. This book tells you how to load the
truck.
